Hi all, does anyone have any ideas about local media in and around the villages of Pontivy. We live nr Le Croisty and feel that our intended busines would be good for both ex-pats and locals, but are unsure about local english / french media that is read! A card in local shops is good I know, but has anyone any other ideas at all? Thanks in advance.

hello we are travelling out to our cottage in Koh Koet near Locmine this week and are considering taking a portable TV/DVD with us, firstly will it work,and secondly do u need a TV licence as you would in the UK.  

My TV (ex-UK many years ago) has packed up.  I thought I was looking to replace it with a PAL SECAM one, to receive French terrestrial as well as sky digital.  Having explained this to the expert in our local Carrefour,  I understand we need a PAL-I SECAM version in order to view decoded encrypted subscription channels (sky movies and so on).  This only seemed to be feasible with the most expensive TV in his shop!  Does anyone know anything about this, or does anyone have a supermarket own-brand TV (Orion, Brandt, etc) which can show Sky subscription channels OK?  Have also heard of MESECAM - is this anything to do with it?

We would like to hear from all you people if "Les Palmiers" deserves the, as yet "soft" verbal attacks he receives on this site. We feel that Les should be made President of an independant Brittany for English speaking people. What do you think? GeGe
